This preliminary evaluation of the answers to the 2nd IRG/WP-Questionnaire only gives a general survey on those questionnaires which the author received until April 30th, 1982. Details, such as correlations between importance of wood preservation and pollution control, as well as a comparison of the answers with those to the first questionnaire (Doc. IRG/WP/369), could not be considered due to lack of time. For the same reason it was not possible so far, to evaluate the additional remarks given in separate letters. In the case, where several questionnaires have been returned for one country, the respective answers were compared. If answers differed within one country, those were considered, which seemed to be most applicable. Obvious errors were omitted. Altogether 49 questionnaires have been returned, referring to 15 industrial and 15 emerging countries. For 14 of the industrial and 6 of the emerging countries already in 1974 answers have been returned. On the other hand for 7 industrial and 7 emerging countries for which answers were available in 1974 no reaction was to the second questionnaire.
